Along with traditional historical categories, such as the two World Wars, the Civil War, and the Great Depression, the book emphasizes immigrant, multicultural, and women-centered films to portray the fullness of the American experience. It also analyzes representations of people and events across different films for a variety of viewpoints, and considers how films reconfigure a past era through the issues of the day in which they were produced. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor ease of use, the book is organized into time periods. Each entry contains: \u003cbr\u003e -the setting\u003cbr\u003e -director\u003cbr\u003e -cast\u003cbr\u003e -credits\u003cbr\u003e -the year of production\u003cbr\u003e -distributor\u003cbr\u003e Ratings are supplied to identify audience-appropriateness. The detailed narrative supplies a brief plot summary along with a thesis supported by strong examples from the film, such as excerpts of dialogue and factual details from history. The entries encourage readers to view the film through the lens of history and to consider it within the larger nexus of films listed in that particular chapter. Frequently, the historical focus considers both the time period depicted in the film and the time period in which it was made. The running times provide readers with a quick access to key scenes for further study. Each entry also concludes with sources for further reading, and indexes identify those films with multicultural and women's themes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Tracey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313313008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313313004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.22w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2002 pg. 2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 546","brand":"Grant Tracey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086479143167,"sku":"9780313313004","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1ec1959-9575-49d6-a81a-51a1d5fc74de.jpg?v=1769094901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/filmography-of-american-history-grant-tracey-9780313313004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
